iPhone 4s – VSCO CAM – Visual Supply Co – NYC

admin — Fri, 11 May 2012 19:18:02 +0000

Visual Supply Co recently released a new iPhone app called VSCO CAM.

As you all know there are TONS upon TONS of iPhone apps that allow you to process your images in a certain way. In fact, Ive probably bought most of them but since the release of VSCO CAM i seem to just stick with this little guy.

Ive blogged before about how great it is to be able to produce great images from your iPhone as its a camera you generally always have on you. I got tired of carrying around my heavier DSLR’s to get everyday images so having the iPhone 4s is brilliant.

On my recent trip to New York i of course, took my heavier DSLR but there were many times were i just grabbed the iPhone for a quick shot, and below are some of these images. Note these were all taken with the iPhone 4s and edited with VSCO CAM, and for 69p its a total bargain, im pretty sure that price will go up soon enough.

On a side note, im not the only photographer who has blogged about this little app so im sure thier website is getting tons of traffic with folk snapping up this app.

Stuart & Aiko’s wedding slideshow – Royal Botanic Garden – Edinburgh

admin — Thu, 10 May 2012 22:39:46 +0000

We couldn’t have asked for a nicer day at the Royal Botanic Gardens. The weather was fantastic. This was my first time photographing a wedding in there and i loved it. The ceremony was outside and everything ran like clockwork.

Stuart & Aiko had family arrive from all over the globe, as far out as Japan. Aiko’s brother, who gave her away ( and also a wedding photographer over in LA ) gave the most emotional speech i have ever heard, even i had a lump in my throat when i was photographing it. I also managed to capture the audio and some of it is included in this slideshow.

If your internet and computer is fast enough be sure to watch it in HD full screen with the volume up.
Hope you enjoy.

Comments welcome.

Wee Robbie’s Birthday Party / Trip to Kelvingrove Park

admin — Tue, 08 May 2012 09:48:28 +0000

It was Jacqui’s wee nephew Robbies birthday party on Sunday and i was forced ( kidding ) to bring my camera along and get some photos.
They hired an animal man ( that doesnt sound right ) and he brought along tons of animals to entertain the kids with. First thing i asked him was if he brought along a spider, sure enough he brought along the biggest tarantula ive ever seen, I’ll be honest and say i cant stand spiders so i stood well back ( as did most of the adults to be fair ) whilst still trying to get some photos for the wee man.

After that we went along to Kelvingrove park with Jacqui’s other nephews to get some more photos. needless to say, it rained. Gotta love Scottish weather.

admin — Tue, 01 May 2012 09:59:55 +0000

Mark & Lyndsay’s wedding was held at 29 Royal Exchange Square, or Club 29 as it’s called.
The whole day ran great and at times we were even ahead of schedule, so stress free all day for Mark & Lyndsay.

I started off at The Blythswood Square Hotel with Lyndsay and the girls before heading to Club 29 for the ceremony and reception. A beautiful venue and great staff to work with. Cant wait to do another wedding here.

Below is thier slideshow. Stay tuned as i’ll be posting more images from their day soon.
Be sure to have your volume up and watch on full screen.

Lady M – Tron Theatre Production Stills – Theatre Jezebel.

admin — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 08:00:21 +0000

A few productions stills taken from Theatre Jezebel’s Lady M at The Tron Theatre.
Details below taken from The Tron Theatre’s website….

PRESENTED BY THEATRE JEZEBEL

DIRECTED + ADAPTED BY MARY MCCLUSKEY
FROM MACBETH BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
DESIGNED BY KENNY MILLER

In Lady M, Theatre Jezebel explores the relationship between Shakespeare’s power couple. Lady Macbeth: cold, irreligious, manipulative and demonic or charming, attractive, ambitious and devoted to her husband? The three weird sisters: who are they and what part do they play in the demise of Lady M?

‘ ‘Hie the hither
That I may pour my spirits in thine ear;
And chastise with the valour of my tongue
All that impedes thee from the golden round,
Which fate and metaphysical aid doth seem
To have thee crown’d withal.’

Lady M: a passionate, loving wife or a virago, a masculine soul inhabiting a female body?

To date, Theatre Jezebel has presented three highly-acclaimed productions at the Tron, Neil LaBute’s Autobahn, John Patrick Shanley’s Doubt, A Parable and most recently Owen McCafferty’s version of JP Miller’s Days of Wine and Roses.

Andrew & Lisa – Park Circus / Partick Burgh Hall.

admin — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 08:00:23 +0000

My first wedding of the year and possibly my largest post yet in terms of the number of images on display. Because i wanted to so many images i first emailed Andrew and Lisa just to check that they were ok with this. Got an email back saying..

“That would be super – both Andy and I are happy to be ‘blogged’!

All in all a great wedding. The weather was quite kind to us, if not a little windy at some points. I personally want to say a huge thanks to Sarti’s restaurant for the food and endless supply of amazing coffee whilst all the wedding guests enjoyed their meal.

Ok, on with the images. Feel free to like and/or comment on the images. Feedback is always welcome.
